Mission

The mission of the Women's Engineering Program (WEP) is to recruit and retain women engineering and computer science students by focusing on outreach, on-campus support and professional preparation objectives. To meet these objectives, WEP works closely with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Cal Poly collegiate section, recognized as the top student section in the nation 2002-2006, 2008-2009, and 2011 in supporting a variety of programs directed at pre-college, undergraduate and graduate students. If you have any questions or would like more information regarding any of our programs please contact us.

WEP supports Cal Poly women engineering students through a variety of academic, leadership and social activities. These activities help students connect to their peers while concurrently providing alumnae, faculty and industry representatives as role models and assisting them in achieving their educational goals. Past on-campus support activities have included: scholarships, academic counseling and referrals, pre-registration counseling, big sibling program, study aids, SWE meetings, and community service.
